    String URL = urlGenerator();

    StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(URL); 
    HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url.toString());

    HttpResponse response = client.execute(get);
    int status = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

    if(status == 200){
            ...
            }

use this code to accomplish your task

HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, 30000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, 30000);
